As someone who doesn’t typically read romantasy, I LOVE this book and it’s by one of my favorite authors 🙌🏼 The sequel comes out this month so if you haven’t read Faebound yet, now is the time! #booksky 🌈📚

Release day for Silver and Smoke! I thought it was a fun read, so go check it out! 🥳

Cover of the book Silver and Smoke by Van Hoang with arrows pointing to notable book attributes including: found family, old Hollywood setting, clan politics, ghosts with their own agenda, and a 4-star rating Description for Silver and Smoke which reads: “More like sisters than best friends, Issa Bui and Olivia Nong grew up dreaming of becoming movie stars. But for young Vietnamese women in 1930s Hollywood, the MGM backlot seems unreachable. Undeterred, Issa knows she’s meant for great things. The blood of shamans run through her veins. To find fame in this town, for herself and for Olivia, Issa needs to make connections. For starters, with her dead grandmother Ba Ngoai. Frightening enough in life— Issa’s own mother forbade any contact— Ba Ngoai is even more intimidating in death. A formidable presence of smoke, promises, and pacts, Ba Ngoai introduces Issa and Olivia to her friend on the other side Ava Lin Rang, a singularly magnetic Asian star of the silent screen. Ava coaches, encourages, and utilizes her own unique influence to open doors for her determined protégées. As Issa begins drawing on her own untapped powers, every dream is coming true. But in a city of illusions, at what cost?”

Made a reading journal entry for The Tainted Cup and this “are you stupid” sticker was just so perfect for a very sherlockian main character 😌 (crossed out writing bc spoilers lol)

Reading journal page for the book The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett featuring a sticker that says “are you always this stupid, or are you making a special effort today?”

Starting my ARC read of Silver and Smoke which comes out next week! This was described to me as “perfect for fans of Zen Cho and Silvia Moreno-Garcia.” Anyone read this one yet? 👀

Hey Bluesky👋🏼

I’m Jess! I read and review books over on TikTok, but it looks like there’s a growing community of book lovers here too! 🫶🏼

I just finished reading Blood Over Bright Haven, by ML Wang and will be starting Never Whistle at Night next. What’s your current read? 👀📚
